The only consistency in life is change. At least it is for me, change is the the only thing I can really depend on. The only anchor that is steadfast.
I hate it.
Every four months or so life changes, whether it is a new apartment, new roommates or new classes, it is inevitable, change is going to happen in its most true and consistent form. However, changes itself brings forth two consistencies, those being Goodbye's and Hello's.
Naturally, I am not one who is particularly fond of Goodbye's, but who is? I know goodbye's are unavoidable, necessary even, but every time change comes and knocks on my door, I am forced to say goodbyes I am not ready to say. At times it seems good bye is all I say.
But because of these Goodbyes I get to say Hello. Although these goodbye's may close doors for me, they also allow other ones to open, and when they do I am greeting with the warmth of Hello's. Hello to new opportunities, new experiences, hello to new teachers and friends, hello to more growing and progressing, HELLO! I, like most everyone else, Prefer the hello's in life much better then the goodbye's.
So as I come to another point in my life where I must once again say goodbye, I will, with a heavy heart. But then I will look forward to all the hello's that will be open to me. With the promise of new hello's I will strive to appreciate change more, even perhaps treasure goodbye's.
Although these goodbye's are hard, I can feel blessed to have known such people, such experiences and opportunities that make saying goodbye truly hard. And I would rather have known them and say goodbye, then to never have known them. They were once Hello's. And if those hello's turned out so good, I anticipate to see what the next hello's will bring.
